From my previous thread yesterday...

http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=279759

Basically, I lost a phillips head bit behind the plastic overlay that is right in front of the metal firewall (in the engine compartment.) (I was extremely le upset.)

So!!! Today, I biked to Radio Shack. I bought a circle magnet with a hole in it. I also came up with the ingenious idea of buying these really long (14.5 inch) zip ties. So I biked back to college and went to ze car.

Threaded the zip tie through the magnet and put it down the hole. I fished around for a few seconds and voilah! I GOT IT OUT!!!

My joy cannot be expressed in words. I just had to tell you guys!!!

So if ur ever in a jiffy, go to radio shack, buy teh really long zip ties and a donut magnet and hopefully it will get any lost metal pieces out of your car.

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I know the feeling, after I had my Global-West Sub-frames installed I attempted to remove the factory sub-frame hook that I will not be used and it went into the body and was stuck. It took me an hour and I finally got it out... Greatest feeling !!! Congratulations.............
